On October 14, 1911, Metr. Aimilianos and his deacon Dimitrios Anagnostou were ambushed by members of the Turkish army while traveling between villages and were killed. Their bodies were terribly mutilated. A tradition from that time relates that their bodies were found when a shepherd saw a burning candle in the forest that led a group of villagers to their bodies. The bodies were recovered and laid to rest on October 24, 1911 at the grounds of the Church St. George in Varosi at a funeral officiated by three metropolitans.[1]
